We've been receiving an inordinate amount of spam posts from spambots that keep getting past our automated counter-measures. Fortunately, we put certain steps in place a while ago to counter these, so you don't see them on the forums.

However, this does mean that we have to introduce a new verification step for new users:

1, Register via the forums as normal,2, THEN e-mail admin@arkhamverse.com or send a message via the Facebook page to say hi and let me know what your username is. I will then approve you and you should be into the site within a day or two at the most (hopefully much less than that).

Apologies for the inconvenience, but I'm sure that you'd agree, it's better than 30,000 spam posts in a weekend.
